Not all denominations of Christianity view it in those terms. Satan plays a much, much bigger role in Evangelical Christianity than more traditional denominations.
not to turn this into a debate, but what role does he play in traditional denominations?

Yeah, no interest in the debate, but mainline Christians often interpret Satan metaphorically. (I do).
But even if you don't, pay close attention to Satan's role in the Bible. It's rarely to mess with individuals and the ordinary stuff of their lives. It's much more often to do with persecution of people for being faithful. The classic examples would be 1 Peter 5:8-9, closing a letter that is largely about persecution, and Revelation 12-13, where it's all about persecution.
Ok, done with the theology thing.
